Beekeeping is a permitted use in any residential or agricultural zone so long as the requirements of this section are met, which are intended to reduce the problems that may otherwise be associated with beekeeping in populated areas. Covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&R’s), bylaws, or other protective covenants of any subdivision shall not be enforced by the City. 1. Certain Conduct Unlawful. It shall be unlawful for a person to maintain a beehive in violation of this Section or to keep any bee colony on any property in a manner that threatens public health or safety or creates a nuisance. Furthermore, it is unlawful and a violation of this Section to maintain a beehive or keep any colony that constitutes a nuisance due to its impact on the neighborhood. 2. General Requirements. a. A beehive may be maintained in a side or rear yard of a residential lot as provided below: i. No more than two beehives per 5,000 square feet is allowed. ii. Beehives shall have a maximum height of 5 feet. b. Any number of beehives is permitted in the RR, RA-5, and A Zones. c. A person shall not locate or allow a beehive on property owned or occupied by another person without first obtaining written permission from the owner or occupant. 3. Beekeeper Registration. Each beekeeper shall be registered with the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food as provided in the Utah Bee Inspection Act set forth in Title 4, Chapter 11 of the Utah Code, as amended. 4. Additional Requirements of Beehives. a. Bee colonies shall be kept in beehives with removable frames, which shall be kept in sound and usable condition. b. Beehives shall be placed at least five feet from any property line and six inches above the ground, as measured from the ground to the lowest portion of the beehive. c. Beehives shall be operated and maintained as provided in the Utah Bee Inspection Act. d. Each beehive shall be conspicuously marked with the owner’s name, address, telephone number, and state registration number. e. Beehives on lots less than ½ acre shall be maintained within an enclosed yard or enclosed section of the property such that the enclosure will deter small children from approaching the beehive. f. All federal, state, and local health requirements, rules, and certification processes must be followed in the processing and sale of honey, honeycomb, or other beekeeping byproducts produced in beehives by this Section. g. In the event of a conflict between any regulations set forth in this Section and bee management regulations adopted by the Utah County Health Department or the State of Utah, the most restrictive regulations shall apply. 5. Flyways. a. A beehive shall be placed on property so that the general flight pattern of the bees is in a direction that will deter bee contact with humans and domesticated animals. b. If any portion of a beehive is located within fifteen feet from an area which provides public access or from an adjacent lot or parcel, as measured from the nearest point on the beehive to the property line or area, a flyway barrier at least six feet in height shall be established and maintained around the beehive except as needed to allow access. c. Such flyway, if located along the property line or within five feet of the property line, shall consist of a solid wall, fence, dense vegetation, or a combination thereof, and extend at least ten feet beyond the beehive in each direction so that bees are forced to fly to an elevation of at least six feet above ground level over property lines in the vicinity of the beehive. d. Any flyway shall not extend over an adjacent property line. 6. Water. a. Each beekeeper shall ensure that a convenient source of water is available to the colony continuously between March 1 and October 31 of each year. b.

A property owner shall ensure that no bee comb, beehive, or other beekeeping equipment is left upon the grounds where a beehive has been maintained. b. Upon discontinuance or removal of a beehive, all beekeeping equipment shall be disposed of within 30 days in a sealed container or placed within a building or other bee-proof enclosure.
